My comments, OS X boots blinding fast. My jaws dropped, I just could not comprehend the speed of the thing. It's a whole multitude new league in comparison to a retina MacBookPro. Apple logo screen lasts one second. Sound works alright. Screen is nice and bright. I will be placing Mac apps on external USB 3.0 drives to test the long term reliability of the USB Kext.

Thanks, phelics12. I have successfully booted with -x argument. Trackpad not functioning at first, rushed out for a USB mouse.....

It looks like your instructions have combined all previous fixes to make a grand finale "Clover" boot. There is one step in the instruction-set I do not completely understand below.

- Delete EFI folder from your system disk (or where clover was installed to) to be sure to boot the right partition with EFI folder.

Correct me if I am wrong, I gather that "you install clover temporarily" and move its contents to replace the EFI on the OSX partition, afterwards, remove all other bootloaders (windows or GRUB) from the disk?

I've already installed Ubuntu 12.10. I am thinking what to do in a dual boot environment with clover as the only bootloader. Hoping for the Hackintosh gurus to lend a hand?

My last successful attempt at hackintosh scene is OSX 10.5 several years ago. Now I have returned to build another with the U32VD. Thus-far without much luck (MBR format), stuck at Apple logo boot screen. I am currently using OSX 10.8.2 image.

I have changed my strategy to follow either Thomas2111 or Pippo guides.

If any kind soul is willing to upload the aforementioned file, I truly appreciate the efforts.
